I started this post about a year ago, but it has been saved in draft form for quite a while...
Its all about the beach ball...I love using beach balls in my room 😼
Beach ball game-
I learned about using a beach ball for practicing multiplication facts, but what a fun first day of school activity! All you need is a beach ball with introduce yourself questions written on it.
Examples of questions: What are you most proud of? What's the most heroic thing you did? What's your favorite animal? What color is your toothbrush? Where did you go to school last year? When is your birthday? etc...
Snowball Fight-
Let each student take out a sheet of paper and write down 3 interesting, but not widely known, facts about him or herself. Students should not write their name of the papers! Let students crumple up their papers into balls and have a paper “snowball” fight. After a few minutes, all the paper snowballs will be all over the classroom. Now, students have to find a snowball, and unfold the paper. Each student must work together to match the snowballs to the students.
Class Dictionary-
Have students write two to three sentences about themselves. Students can read about each other!
